In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate on your website, to protect the payment and login data which users submit, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information about the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, such as the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It should be sent to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted information and based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The SSL set up requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that's generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website which has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
